Mixed Up

Idea One:

I'd look into my future
to see the day on which I'll die,
to know just how I'll shuffle off:
the when, the how and why.

And looking at my future,
some changes I would bring about:
avoid the place, that time of day -
and live forever then, no doubt...

Alas we'll all die someday somehow... but it's an important realization to keep in mind, so that we do live life to the fullest... with the hope of truly living Forever in spirit... so indeed, what changes should we make?... I know I'm still trying to make changes, to live for Eternity :D

Congratulations on your winning work. Way to go. Yes, we would all like to live longer as long as we could still enjoy life. If we knew, would probably make some changes. Sara K
